Now We Know Why He’s Been Calling Edward Snowden a Russian Spy
Posted on March 28th, 2014 in Uncategorized | 1 Comment »
Because GOP congressman Mike Rogers, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee—who in recent weeks has repeatedly accused Edward Snowden of being a Russian spy, while never providing a shred of evidence—is retiring to launch a new career in talk radio.
And that’s the kind of hate-filled inanity you spew on conservative talk radio. Rogers’ appearances on the Sunday punditry shows now appear to have been, essentially, a tryout.
Somewhere very hot, Father Coughlin and Joe McCarthy are looking upward and applauding.

Kudos to the Crimson for publishing this powerful piece on what it’s like to be sexually assaulted at Harvard: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2014/3/31/Harvard-sexual-assault/?page=single
I imagine that this will drive a lot of campus conversation this week. Harry Lewis and I disagreed in the comments of one of your Woody Allen posts about the appropriate response to allegations of sexual assault and I don’t expect this oped to resolve that, but I hope that this piece at least crystalizes a consensus that the current system universities use for handling these allegations is completely broken.
